National Road 68 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 68), abbreviated as the EO68, is a national road in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The EO68 is a short road that connects the archaeological site of Mycenae to the Greek national road network.

Route

[edit]

The EO68 is officially defined as a short road in the Argolis regional unit, branching off the EO7 in Fichti [el] and heading east towards the archaeological site of Mycenae, passing through the village of Mykines.[2] The EO68 also meets with Argolis Provincial Road 19 at Mykines.[3][4]

History

[edit]

Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO68 from the old EO63, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO68.[2][5]
